Northern Illinois getting some love...they'll go undefeated this year

South Carolina outscored UCF 28-8 in the second half with their back up QB....That's the same UCF bunch that went on the road last year and pushed tOSU for 4 qtrs.

USC was hardly using a 'backup' quarterback. They use him in their normal offense, and the announcers even said after the injury, "if any team sees almost no drop off between their starter and backup, it's USC"

Wow...didn't know that. Why you guys hating on SCAR if they won that game semi-easily without their starting QB?

They did better with their backup in then they did with their starter in the game. And, their backup has been successful all year.

So you are saying UCF dominated the first half, SoCar the second, and it was a pretty even game?

 

[tech_iceman]

the powerhouse that is UCF has beaten Akron, FIU and squeaked out a win against Penn State

how is Miami not ahead of South Carolina? Miami beat Florida, who has South Carolina beaten?

I didn't think it was too even of a game, USC depth was just too superior to UCF and by midway in the 3rd qtr UCF was completely worn down. UCF couldn't of played them any better and still beaten, by the midway into the 4th qtr the game was out of reach (28-10). UCF scored 2 late TD to make it respectable. UCF played a great first half, so kudos to them.

correction: South Carolina outscored UCF 28-15 in the second half

They almost lost to UCF.

Akron pushed Michigan to the last play of the game.

Meh...While your argument has merit, Miami, Florida and South Carolina should all be below 15...

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

USC's back up QB (if you can even call him that) is better than their starter if you ask me. Thomas is no slouch. He makes better throws than Shaw, just not as mobile. He makes good decisions and can run the offense just as effectively as Shaw.

 

[LawDawg]

Arizona St. in, Wisconsin out. Like it.

Well, they did beat them, did they not?

Ok, I'm going to catch huge amount of shit for this, but I would put Oregon over Bama. They are not the same team as last season and I don't believe that defense can stop Oregon. The ducks may also have a D. that is capable of stopping someone outside of the Pac12. In the past I would have never said this but Oregon might be unstoppable even by SEC standards.

Also Wisconsin should be in the top 25 and FSU is better than Louisville.

I have Oregon as my #1 right now. Bama is #3 in my polls.

 

[HizzleRocker]

Akron pushed Michigan to the last play of the game.

That's exactly the point. Michigan dropped for winning. I have no problem with that, as long as others (i.e. team sec) gets the same treatment.

UCF was up 10-0 at half. S. Carolina only won by 3 points. Aggies only won by 12 and right now they look like they would let a junior high school team hang 30 on them. The only consistency here is that it is consistently swayed in favor of the sec.

 

[757Hokie83]

Clemson is in the driver's seat for that #2 spot

already beat Georgia, still have Florida State, South Carolina and possibly Miami in the ACC CG

slow down there

I agree with everything except for Wisconsin. This early, I don't like the idea of a 2-loss team in there. However, they will be ranked by season's end and will likely finish in the top 15.
